Abstract This paper reports on research toward a new theoretical model analyzing "smart city" development in the context of five Sociological Drivers (Technologies, Social structures, Cultural drivers, Economic drivers, Governance). These drivers are analyzed for their impact in support of five Intelligent Community Indicators (Broadband Connectivity, Knowledge Workforce, Innovation, Digital Inclusion, Marketing & Advocacy). The paper gives findings for a preliminary sample of three top cities from the Intelligent Community of the Year award competition. It presents a matrix and heat map of Transformative Factors in smart city development. The paper concludes that the model is promising for community research and leadership and warrants broader sampling with further analysis.
